Optical spectra of rare-earth nickelates [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 102, 081111 (2020), 2020 Based on the electronic band structure obtained from first principles DFT calculations, the opticalspectra of yttrium and neodymium nickelates are computed. We show that the results are in fairagreement with available experimental data. We clarify the electronic transitions at the origin of thefirst two peaks, highlighting the important role of ...

Globalizing Fairness Attributes in Machine Learning: A Case Study on Health in Africa [PDF]
, 2023 With growing machine learning (ML) applications in healthcare, there have been calls for fairness in ML to understand and mitigate ethical concerns these systems may pose. Fairness has implications for global health in Africa, which already has inequitable power imbalances between the Global North and South.

Irreducible Killing Tensors from Third Rank Killing-Yano Tensors [PDF]
Mod.Phys.Lett.A22:1309-1318,2007, 2006 We investigate higher rank Killing-Yano tensors showing that third rank Killing-Yano tensors are not always trivial objects being possible to construct irreducible Killing tensors from them. We give as an example the Kimura IIC metric were from two rank Killing-Yano tensors we obtain a reducible Killing tensor and from third rank Killing-Yano tensors ...

Lie algebra of conformal Killing-Yano forms [PDF]
Class. Quantum Grav. 33 (2016) 125033, 2016 We provide a generalization of the Lie algebra of conformal Killing vector fields to conformal Killing-Yano forms. A new Lie bracket for conformal Killing-Yano forms that corresponds to slightly modified Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket of differential forms is proposed.
